But why would anyone take flash advice from self-confessed "Dr. No Flash?" :-)

Yea, continuous light is nice. But there's got to be, what -- about ten stops 
difference between an LED ring and the T-10?

That was certainly good advice in the bad old days when you were limited to 36 
shots that you had to send away for a week or more before seeing what happened. 
But with mirrorless instant feedback, POP, look, pop again, repeat as necessary.

Personally, I find that power is more likely to "get everything right the first 
time" than continuosity will: Just set that sucker to f8 and fire away...
